Title: An Apparatus for Heating and Drying Gravel.
Inventor: BOLTSHAUSER CONRAD
IPC: F26B17/16

Granted: 1910-08-25
Abstract: 22,913. Boltshauser, C. Dec. 23, 1908, [Convention date]. Tar-macadam, plant for making.-Apparatus for heating and drying gravel for the production of tar-macadam consists, as shown in Figs. 1 and 3, of a number of narrow heating-pits for the gravel enclosed between zigzag flues 4 leading from the fire-place 5. The gravel gravitates down into a common collecting-pit 7, from which it is discharged through a pipe 8. The gravel is discharged either directly into a mixing-drum containing tar or indirectly through the medium of an elevator, or by hand. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), states also that the heating-means need not be of rectangular form and that the heating may be effected by steam or water, or by direct firing with coal, paraffin, or the like. It also describes a modified form of apparatus for heating gravel consisting of a vessel containing hot water through which the gravel is conducted. The vessel has two compartments 9, 10, Fig. 4 (Cancelled), separated by a partition 13 having an opening at the lower part closed by a valve 14. The gravel is delivered by an elevator 11 into the compartment 9 and, after passing through the valve 14 to the compartment 10, is removed by an elevator 12 and discharged into a delivery pipe 17, from which it may be taken directly or indirectly to a mixing-drum. The gravel may be scooped from the container and carried on trucks to the mixing-drum, and it may be fed to the container along inclined planes. Instead of two compartments, a single compartment may be used, to which the gravel may be delivered, and from which it may be removed by a conveyer screw or in any desired manner. The water in the container is heated by pipes 16, by steam, or by direct firing. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 14,029. Stettiner Maschinenbau-Akt.- Ges. "Vulcan." June 9, 1909, [Convention date]. [Addition to 13,864/06.] Hydraulic transmission of power.-Apparatus, such as that described in the parent Specification, is provided with one or more auxiliary pumps for the purpose of supplying motor liquid to the gear, or, if this is in operation, to maintain it filled and under a given positive pressure. The formation of voids in the places where the pressure is least is thus avoided. These pumps may also serve for cooling the gear by allowing a certain amount of leakage to occur, which is replaced by cold liquid from the said pumps.

Granted: 1910-12-31
Abstract: 14,755. Boult, A. J., [Sulzer Geb.]. June 18. [Addition to 28,040/06.] Automatic speed or power control.-Relates to the system of vehicle propulsion described in the parent Specification, and comprises a modification of the automatic regulating-apparatus described in Specification 12,228/09. Two cocks p, q simultaneously operated by a governor o are arranged with their passages oppositely inclined in the supply pipes of the compressor c and auxiliary motor d respectively. A second cock v in the supply pipe of the compressor is connected by levers and links to a piston t automatically operated by the air on the delivery side of the compressor. Normal variations in the demand of the main motor for compressed air are compensated by the increased or decreased speed of the auxiliary motor due to the variation in the delivery pressure in pipe e, the governor o not affecting the cocks p, q. If, however, the main motor should not require compressed air, the pressure rises in the pipe e, the speed of the motor d is greatly reduced, and the governor o diminishes the air supply through cock p. At a certain maximum pressure, the valve r opens, and the piston t is actuated to close the cock v. The motor d then tends to race and is controlled by the cock q. When the main motor requires a large supply of compressed air, for example when starting the vehicle on an incline, the pressure in the delivery pipe e falls and the cocks p, q are fully opened by the action of the governor.

Abstract: 4684. Testrup, N., and S÷derlund, O. Feb. 24. Peat, preparing, for use as fuel. Wet carbonized peat, obtained as described in Specification 10,834/03, 20,420/03, or 6041/10, is partly dried by a pressure applied internally, that is, transmitted by the fluid itself as in a filter press, further drying being effected by externally applied pressure as in a band-press, a preferred form of which is described in Specification 13,656 / 10, [Class 46, Filtering &c.]. The material leaving the carbonizing-plant passes into a pressure-equalizing chamber and from this into a filter press. The pressure of the material issuing from the carbonizing-oven, reduced in some cases by a valve, is used in the filter press. The pressure at this stage is 100-150 lb. per square inch. In the band-press the pressure is gradually increased to 600 lb. A press cake containing 50 per cent of water is thus produced, which may be used for the production of gaseous fuel, or may be further dried in a rotary drier heated by steam-pipes, and formed into briquettes

Abstract: 17,355. Moscicki, I. July 29. Scrubbers.--An apparatus for effecting the absorption of dilute gases by liquids on the counter-current principle comprises a casing 3 through which gas travels horizontally. Vertical layers of small-sized filling-material are separated by perforated partitions 5. Liquid is supplied to alternate vertical layers by the periodical emptying of vessels 14, each furnished with a liquid-supply pipe 15 and a compressedair pipe 16.
